Her golden healing hair is now silver “murder hair” as the characters call it. Rapunzel now has the dark power of the Moon. The premise of “What Once Was Mine” is what if Queen Ariana was given the Moondrop blossom instead of the Sundrop? She and her daughter Rapunzel still live but things are very different. The excitement rose when I found out Liz Braswell was writing this book since she wrote my favorite in the series “Part of Your World.” So I was thrilled when they announced the Tangled version as their 12th entry in the series. Think “Marvels’ What If,” but in young adult book format with Disney Princesses. I’m also a fan of “A Twisted Tale,” an anthology series of books based around alternate "what-if" spins based on Disney animated movies. I’ve sat in the Tangled restroom area and watched the fireworks at Magic Kingdom because it made me feel for a little while I was in Rapunzel’s world. I’ve watched the television read the books based on it. To this day, Tangled is my comfort movie. I came out of the theater feeling lighter and calmer. It was the first time in weeks I had laughed. And I got lost in this beautiful movie that made me forget my troubles. During one of the worst times of my life, I went to a movie theater for the first time by myself. I feel like any review of media related to “Tangled” I need to preface with my absolute love of the original movie.
